And -we'll go scrimpling all our Ilives, and always be land poor. - | oy ; ¢ For thirty years we've tugged dnd saved, denying half our needs, ; i 4 Whﬂelalliwe have to show forit is tax receipts and - deeds, K

Ird selfl the land, if it were mine, and have a better ; Oome, figred _ s i With broad, light rooms to front the street, and ; take life as it come. . ? : If we could live as others live, and have what ; others do, e : W¢'d live a great deal pleasanter, and have a plen1y t 00; : : . ' i ¥ : : While others have amusements, and lpxary and books, ; Just think how stingy vre havedlived, and how " this old place looks! That other farm you bought of Wells, that took g 0 many years : . Lo Of clearing up and fencing in, has cost me mayn - tears, i o 5 Yes, Charles, indeed, I've thought of ita hundred times or more, ; : And woundered if it really paid to always be land poor! If we had buiit & cosy house and made a happy - home, sl : | Our children onice o dear to us, had nev.cr[lenmed Lo roam. : : i ,f Tgrieve to think of wasted weeks, aud yearsand months and days, : . 4 . While for it all we never yet have had one word of praise. i { i Men call us rich, but we are poor—would:-we not freely give. iheke The land, with all its fixtures, for a better way to - live ? s % : ; Don’t think I'm blamiug you, dear Charles—-you're . mnot a whit to blame, T'vepitied you these many years, to see you tired andlame! ' P It’s just the way we dtarted out, our plans too far' ahead; Eo ; We've worn the cream of life away, to lave tdo much when dead. i f‘ | "Tig putting off enjoyment long after we enjq'y, And after all too much of Weufthvsecms useless a 8 . a toy, e Although {vc‘,ve learned, alas,’too late! what ajl . must learn at last, ) Our brightest earthly happiness is buried in' the past. 10y That life is short and fuil of care, the end is al- . ways nigh, i We seldr()]m hu:-ff begin to live, befere we’re doomed to die. = L § Were I to start my life again, I'd mark each separate day, 45 il : . And never let a single one pass unenjoyed away. If there were things to envy, I’'d have them mow and then, And have a home that wds a home, and nota cage : orpen. . : " e I'd sell some land if it were mine, and fit up well the rest, I've always thought, and think so yet—small Jarms well worked are best! .

Hard Sums—Are the Children ’Taught i Rightly ? S An exasperated” parent overflows into the columus of the Philadelphia Bulleteny i i . In common with thousands of other pa rents who desire that their children shall at least keep up with the average bey and girl, I find myself ebliged to spend my evenjngs in teaching school; doing what I pay otbers to do during the daytime, aud iy vrder tbal iy yUULESIELS LAYy us able to go and rfecite at school, spending my leisure hours, and the sleepy ones, in trying to fix in their peor little weary brains, the names of almost unknown rivers in some out of the-way portion of the globe, or in trying to explain the im ‘portant and cminently practical fact that 237 17 dollars is 2 7 of 9 times "what A paid for his horse, and the horse cost 12 of 1-2 of 34 as much as his carriage—something, no doubt, that every child ought to know, provided his parents teach it to him. 2

-We all know that we ‘made just such calculations as this fifty times a day, and never think of coming at a result in’a sensible, direct manner. Dr Johnson says a school is “a house of discipline and instruction,” a place of literary education, etc,, and that a scholar is “one who learns of a master.” -He also says a schoolmas ter is “one who teaches in a sclool.” Now, 80 far a 8 my experience goes, the modern schoolmaster or mistress does none of these things, but merely listens to the recitations of lessons taught by parents at home. I have no hesitation in saying that the whole system of modern teaching, including text -books, maps, and everything else connected with it, is vastly below and behind what was in vogue thirty years since, and that, instead of making us a race of. well educated men and women, it is making candidates for the insane asylums, and piling up a heap of misery in very many forms. P T am perfectly willing that teachers shall be well paid, if they only teach; and may mention that in my capacity of trustee of a public schocl, I give a practical illustration of my faith; but lam opposed to parents - being compelled to ‘teach their children. e As a boy, I was flogged at school, and the memory of the rattan is pleasant as bringing back a time when boys were boys, and teachers were teachers. Now we do not flog the bays, and very properly, for those who deserve the flogging are first the teachers, and perhaps if a parent were made to suffer now and then, it would do him gocd. Nixe P. M, P. B.—My wife says, “flog the' teach—ers, by all means,” or atleast 3{ of % of R 69-873 of 1,939 2,000 of them.

% The Small-Pox in Boston, Concerning the ravages of the smallpox’in the city of Boston, the Chicago 'Tribune says: “Before vaccination was known, there were, in 1700, according to Cotton Mather, 1,200 fatal cases in one year, but now small pox patients, notwithstapding all the aids ot modern skill, are dying at the rate of 3,000 a year, or 60 a week. The mortality reaches the frightful proportion of one death in every four cases, which is worse than even the small-pox pestilence of 1816 in Europe. The sudden spread of the disease is attributed, in Massachusetts, to the repeal of the “head money tax,” which has thrown the State open to Canadian immigration, which brings the infection with it. In the nine montbs which have passed since this repeal, there have been more deaths from small.pox in Boston than in the whole State in the preceding gix years’ : .

A fellow who was paying attention.to a girl in Andover, Massachusetts, stole up to the kitchen where she was at work theiother morning, thinking to see what kind of a housekeeper she was. He got interested as he stood behind a door all uncbserved, watching the fair one at her toil, and in the ardency of his observation he obtruded his nose into a crack in the door. She innocently shut that door a little, and there was a mashed bu. gle. He now wears it in a sling.

' LETTER FROM; CALIFORNIA. ; [Number Three.) . Woobpraxp, Yoo Couxry, €ax. ) ; - Junugry 18th, 1873, ¢ Friexp J. B. Storn, ; Dear Sir :'~ln my last I left you, rather burriedly, at Colfax. = Just as we,arrived at that place I heard a voice sﬁ', “All aboard for Grass Valley and Nevada” (the very place to which I was going); and as the cars did not stop long, I was compel led to hurry in order to get myself and baggige off before the train left ;- but T “made the riffle,” and thel train mdved on, while T stood still looking at Colfax—and truly/it looks s smiting end plessant us the man for whom it was nameq, This is a r-gular eating station on, the Central Pacific Railroad, about 192 miles from San Francisco. and 53 from Sicramento. An edcellent table will be found at the Rzilroad House. The Compuny has a large depot here ; being the distributing point for, freight bound for Grass Valley, Nevada, and a large scope of mining cotintry. Colfax.is 1)6!_11? one of the pretticst and most substantial of railroad towns. It contains about two hundred hotses—sutie’ of brick, the remainder of wood; thrce"‘"{mtels,"nne chureh, odd Fellow’s and Mason’s halls, ete. The town contains 1,000, inhabitants, is wellswatered and has an air of general thrift aboutit. = -

After looking at thetown for a while and having partaken of sdnie dinner, and a four horse stage coach having driven up to the hotel, we at once secured a seat for Grass Valley (s distance ot 18 miles) by paying $2.50 for myself, and twenty five -c_ent.s»mo're for extra baggage. I thought it was putting on the tarifi pretty well, but after passing over the road I conclud ed I had been well repaid, for we had a merry ride as we wound slowly ap the mountain side until we bad gained the summit; then running down the othier side as fast as the hordes could Tun; in order to keep out of the way of the coach. At times I felt as though it woald be safer traveling “a fcot and alone,” but,‘.mw'cvcr, in due time we safely r‘eached‘ Grass Valo- : - The last named place 4s a thrivisg min ing town, in Nevada county, is thirteen miles north of Colfax and contains about 5,000 inhabitants. It has numecrous fine buildings, both public and private. v’:l"he dwellings generally are enclosed with -ﬁ)ne orchards sud gardens, giving to them au air of comfurt and home like beauty that is seldom met with. . '

- At Grass Vulley we changed horses, and with a fresh team we rolled out for Nevada, the coupty seat of Nevada county.— The latter is also a mining town, is four milés from tfie former, on Deer Creck, and contains a population of ‘about. 4,000, .The county buildings are very fine; the jail is one of finest in the State. Nevada LOaStS O DEr pupbLiC SChOOIS, ang jusity too, for perhaps in no other county in the State is the educational interest in g more flourishing condition or better represent. ed. It was at this place that my| brothetin law, Hayman Allman, who was well known by all the Stark cnurity a:c;tt!ar’fs of Lignnier and -vicinity, was buried, in 1852; but there was no marble slab crect. ed t 5 his memory and his grave cunnot now be found. = : !

- From Neyada we went to North San Juan (pronounced “S:m Wan’'), & distance of about twelve miles to the-north. This is & hydraulic mining town, situated in the richest psrt of the “deep diggings.” It has a population of about 1,500. The town is surrounded by orchards and vine yards, and the residences are fairly em= broidered.in flowers. Two churelies, one theater, a skating rink and a Chinese temple; or josh house, constitute tlie places for public gatherings. © Here we chgné_;ed coaches for Sweeteland, four miles distant to the west, where my old friend William Warner lives. He, too, is well acquainted with all the Stark gountyites, and I can assure them that be is one of 'those men whom California, with all its gold und corroding influences, cannot carrupt ; but he is the same honest, temperate, truthful, bigh-minded gentleman that he always was in ‘Ohio—occupying as large a place in theaffections of lnsneighbors of Sweeteland 8s be formerly did .with his many eastern friends. i

Here I have stuck my stake, and shall call it home during my stay in California, Sweeteland is another prosperous mining town, but not so large as San Juan. We ari‘ived. here on Saturday, November 23d, and, as in Corinne, fourd no Sunday observed as a day of rest or going to meeting, but business of all kinds doing as on other days of the week, with none to molest or make afraid. Of course Sunday seem: ed a long and lenesome day to me, being accustomed as I bad to attending church on that day. I c'onch;‘ded, however, that I would change the order on the next Lord’s day ; so I gave notice that I would lecture on the subject of Sunday Schools on the tollowing Sunday, which I did, baving a fair audience, who ‘manifested their igppreciation of my efforts by a vote of thanks and an invitation to preach to them in the evening. I accepted their kind invitation end was again fivored with a good-sized and attentive audience. Hoping to meet you here again shortly, for the present I bid you an affectionate good bye. : Yours as ever, : "~ G. W. CHAPMAN.

Bosron| is just mow enjoying, in a large degree, all the delights to be de rived from the knowledge of the existence of the small pox in its midst, without having reliable data with regard to the proportions of the scourge. The city government has been tiying to suppress information rather then the disease, and as a result, rumors, new cases; and, deaths have steadily increased until there isa panic. There has been no suitable Board of Health, and proper sanitary regula tions have been: overlooked. Now, the papers are publishing all the facts, and they are alarming, to such'a degree, that there is a probability that something will be accomplished. The Mayor, it is reported, fully appreciates the situation, and measures bordering on arbitrariness are advocated. =

We were socn on the way, going at the rate of six miles an hour including a stop every now and then. I was sorry I had not waited for the even ng pﬁs'zsenge'r train, due at 8 o'elock, but then.

" A train was heard coming up behind, and on looking out we saw it coming round the curve about twenty: rods- distant. The conductor called it a wild train, and so I thought, when I saw: it '-c\oi},;ing. Passengers were wild too, myselfincluded, and there was a rush for the door, . The engine from this train pushed us into. the station, Here I waited for the passenger. train that came in at nine o’clock, and concluded that T did not want any more rides on a {re¢ight train, but that hereafter if T was in g/hurry I would walk. | T arrived safely af my destination that evening ; , having been sincelin the fore.noon in traveling thirty five ‘miles, and found that ay nerves were out of order; that some of my expressiors during the trip had been rather emphatic; that my shirt, which was clean when I started, was dirty; my lungs full of tobacco smoke; that I bad soiled my pants by taking a remarkably sudden sitting posture on an ¢jected quid ot no emall dimensions; that I bad lost my dinner (that I did not get); then I coolly, calmly and deliberately sat down and inwardly wished that I had waited for the passesfger train. ' | The old adage, “slow but sure,” applies a 8 perfectly to the freight train asit conld to anything else; for m the first place it is slow, and you are sure to gpend your time waiting on the switch—or in: the ditch.
